This prick has people waiting for paid orders but he has time to introduce new stuff? This screams Ponzi scam.

Didn't you guys get the memo:

Ready-to-wear (“RTW”) line: We have to launch 1-2 models a year to keep the line relevant. This line is necessary for Mk II because the Benchcrafted projects, due to their complex supply chains and higher QC standards, end up with, as you are experiencing, unpredictable down time during development and production. The development of the ready-to-wear collection is part of a multi-year restructuring effort in order to provide a stable foundation for the future while making it viable for us to continue to execute the Benchcrafted projects. The RTW line has enabled us to gradually ramp down lead times for the Benchcrafted projects, increase responsiveness to communication, and maintain aftermarket service. While it would be ideal to drop everything and focus on the open Benchcrafted projects, experience has proven the necessity of the RTW line.

RTW must be cheap AF since he doesn’t do 10 years of QC on them.

Perfect watch to wear in Nepal on a fire truck.

They probably all sport the hands he rejected on other watches

[manitoujoe]

I annoyed because I kinda dig the look.

I just don’t get why people don’t just go to a lawyer and group sue his ass.

Did anyone read the heavy handed copy about how seconds matter? And then says the movement is +/- 15 secs a day? Lol

What a nut job.

[Ryeguy]

Rather wear a Hamilton.

[namor]

Aside from being an ugly mashup of design pieces taken from 6 different watches...

Why does he have to be so embarassingly a fanboi of things military? I seriously doubt that anyone qual'd to make High Altitude Low Opening jumps is going to be wearing one of these.

Wow, he uses "Benchcrafted" a lot in those 5 sentences.

[Axelay2003]

So if it is not Benchcrafted, what is it?

Asshatched.

The lemmings on WUS will all be joining the MKII Human caterpillar fawning all over this and the ones that cant get in on the caterpillar will be assigned to the MKII reacharound...lol

Only 50 made, so there is some urgency to purchase. Well played Yao. Business school did wonders for him, lol.

Fast forward again to today, there hasn't been much chatter about the HALO X MKII collaboration. I stumbled across an Instagram post from Thousand Yard Style (TYS) where Robert Spangle, a Recon Marine Veteran, introduced this collaboration watch. Robert in an open to the public Q&A, described the Airborne as a passion project of his. The Airborne is the result of a collective design effort between Newline Halo, Bill Yao of MKII, and himself (of TYS). In his Q&A he mentioned he has been testing his Airborne prototype for the last year. I won't attempt to tell his story, but I will you tell that his watch has been through quite the journey.

The Airborne is limited to 50 pieces. It goes through the same assembly and quality control process as all MKII RTW pieces. The warranty is backed by MKII and future servicing can go through them as well. It comes in MKII's signature pelican style 3-slot case accompanied by two NATOS, extra spring bars (both flanged and shoulder-less), spring bar tool, certificate of guarantee card and the watch model information card.

Such a weird mash-up. Why do people still give this brand their money?

I had to Google Newline Halo. This photo is on the website. Is this Derek Zoolander’s BUDS class?

Talk about marketing to posers!

This watch is just what the Tactical Antifa member needs.

When I read this thread title I assumed it was MKII for players of the video game
